UFC 196: Rafael dos Anjos Fires Back at Conor McGregor

After Conor McGregor accused Rafael dos Anjos of ducking out of their March 5th, UFC 196 bout, the lightweight champ has fired back at the outspoken star.

Recently the UFC confirmed that RDA will no longer fight McGregor due to a broken foot he incurred in training. Instead, Nate Diaz will face the featherweight champion in a bout that will be contested at 170 pounds.

During a recent press conference to promote the new main event, McGregor blasted dos Anjos for withdrawing from the card, and argued he did so because of a “bruise”.

Well, since then, RDA has tweeted out the following response:

Why Gregor didn't pick Cerrone to fight!? He loves some out of shape with 10 days notice like Mendez. Want 2 belts? Gotta beat me
